Don't worry,it's called a PENIS men have them,you might too when you grow up.

You really don't have any place talking about penises. You're not a guy, and really you don't even fit into this thread. On top of constantly being a condescending bIch, you have to.... Eh, better judgement has stepped in right about here. I'm gonna go get some coffee. You'll get yours though.
This coming from a guy who loves hanging around Men's showers!

So... that means that I paid attention to the thread title? Good one. :thumbsdown:
Well since you are gay isn't the Men's shower to you like a Women's shower to those of us who are straight?

Eh, sorta. You have to figure if you spent your whole life in the women's shower, it wouldn't be nearly as appealing. Unless say, Alissa Marano walked in, to put it in your terms.

:Q I can't imagine spending my whole life in any shower

Not really. You grow up with it. And then when everything kinda comes together for you, you realize that the large majority of those guys aren't attractive or available. Straight guys only seem hot before you meet a bunch of gay guys who actually care what they look like. But yeah, I had my fun in high school athletics.

I bet today with so many if the younger guys getting into being Metro Sexual (Highlights in their hair, shaving their bodies and such) I bet even you have a hard time telling who is who. Maybe "Hard Time" was a poor choice of words;) LOL

All kidding aside, I imagine as a guy being in a shower full of ugly fat women wouldn't be much of a turn on.

The metrosexuals are easy pickings. They do all that stuff just to be cool. You just say something like, "Girls think it's really cool when a guy's been with another guy." :p

Just kidding, I don't mess around with people that aren't honest with themselves about their sexuality.

back to the topic... I'm fortunate enough that my gym has a really clean showering facility. I use to take showers there all the time and heat up in the sauna. Then they started being a b!tch about not allowing sandals in there (what kind of gym doesn't allow sandals in the showere?!?!), and I never used it ever again.

I think the idea is, if no one has sandals, then the floor is cleaner than if a few people wear sandals hoping to keep their feet cleaner.

Ditto with gynecologists, the novelty wears off. Or like Superman, after a while nothing surprises you anymore.

It's not the healthy women they look at most of the time, but the nasty ones. In fact most women ARE nasty, so it's a given :D

You're probably only worried that you're gonna get 'happy' while hanging around with other nood men.

:roll: It really is true what they say, isn't it? People in this country are so afraid of their own bodies (and others' bodies), yet feel completely comfortable in blowing someone's head off in a videogame or watching blood and gore in movies.

Yes, because playing video games and watching movies with gore has everything to do with being nekkid.

Can I get a WTFBBQ, please!

werhe did you get WTFBBQ my friend uses the same saying

What's taking you the extra 5 minutes at home?

actually, it is really f.ed up topic in the states. I mean, most guys at any of the American gyms I go to wear underwear/wrap up in a towel on the way to/from the shower, or try to cover themselves up somehow else. even in the sauna! there are very few of us, fully naked dudes (in the locker room and shower/sauna). I even used to know a few American dudes who would wear swimming trunks in the public shower. WTF?! Not only conservative and puritans, but turns out now Americans also have a boat load of issues with public nudity, even with the same sex. I guess it stems from the largely individualistic culture, where people don't feel a part of a commune, thus not comfortable with others very much. That, and all the pseudo mucho and very homophobic tendencies amongst males (especially young ones, frat boys and such), all the while favouring very openly homoerotic-positioned clothes brands, like Abercrombie.

Someone ought to research this more and get a Ph.D. on the topic.

Yes I did, but I still don't see why it's such a problem. It's just a bunch of dudes soaping up their hot, naked, glistening, supple young bodies.

Now be honest, that description got you a little hot, didn't it?

Yup.

Whew.....glad I wasn't the only one! :D

Actually, the only time I felt uncomfortable in the shower with other people was at the YMCA one time some guy started making love to his soap. Yikes....
